    All the allies against Nazi Germany marched there. Angela Merkel was on the reviewing stand. Echoes of times past.

          Probably to make sure she has a cushy spot waiting for her at Gazprom when her term as Chancellor ends.

              Sussing out the competition in case they decide they want to give it all another go, you know, for old times sake.

                Although every German likes nothing better than to laze away an evening drawing up plans to invade France, I dont think they'd try it again at least not in the next 12 to 18 months.

                      Did they have a Choir singing competition with the Reds? Men of Harlech vs the score from The Hunt for Red October?

                          Nice to see the CO and RSM had to be different! (and I'm not talking about their dress)

                          It is a bit weird that Merkel was there alright, considering her lot lost.

                              Just an aside--I saw that the American brigade that marched draws its lineage from the American force that assisted the Whites during the Russian Civil War. Wonder if that was done on purpose?
